Content:
Survey's the issues typically raised in discussions ofsustainability and plastics Discusses current issues not covered in detail previously suchas ocean litter, migration of additives into food products and therecovery of plasticsCovers post-consumer fate of plastics on land and in theoceans, highlighting the environmental impacts of disposalmethodsDetails toxicity of plastics, particularly as it applies tohuman healthPresents a clear analysis of the key plastic-related issuesincluding numerous citations of the research base that supports andcontradicts the popularly held notions.
